Here is a devastating video put out by Naked Emperor News that uses the words of Democrats - including Barack Obama and Joe Biden - to argue against the use of the "Nuclear Option" in the United States Senate. The video shows numerous clips of leading Democrats in 2005 arguing against the use of the "Reconciliation Process" in the U.S. Senate to get President Bush's judicial nominees approved. Democrats were so angry at even the suggestion it might be used that they argued against the "Nuclear Option" because they said it would destroy the U.S. Senate.

Then Sen. Obama argued against it, and said it would "change" the Senate forever if used. Joe Biden called it an "arrogant" power grab against the "Founder's intent."

The video shows Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Diane Feinstein, as well as Obama and Biden arguing passionately against its use.

Now, they appear ready to use the "Nuclear Option" to ram through ObamaCare. Republicans did not use the "Nuclear Option" in 2005 to get those judicial nominees approved. But the Democrats appear that they will go the "Nuclear" route to get what they want.

The closing clip of Biden is the "coup de grace":

"I pray God when the Democrats take back control we don't make the kind of naked power grab you are doing."

The United States is "Freedom's Lighthouse" in a world where the light of freedom is not found in many places. We will record that history - past and present - with a great emphasis on video, and will also mix in some of the nation's top sports and cultural news. In all we do we will seek to uphold the conservative principles that have made America "Freedom's Lighthouse."
